I would be unworthy of recogni.
ton should I fail to express an
opinion, this [ have done In the
most emphatic manner, in "a
note dated Nov. 7th. 1887, to Com
missioner Webb, transmitting
him (at their request) the result

Mr.. Webb was appealed to not to

EVIL EFFECTS OF LAWS
AGAINST PUGILISM.
Julian Hawthorne in the Novem
ber Cosmopolitan.

The laws do not favor boxing as
profession: but the laws in force
against professional boxing have
only served to aggravate what is
Objectionable in it. They attempt
to do too much and they are not
in accord with the weight of popu-
lar prediction. Nobody who has
been a boy, and is a man, could
avoid feeling interested in such a
battle as, for example, between
Sayers and Heenan. Comparative
ly few men, on the other hand,
would enjoy a blind, unscientific
slugging match. But the law makes
no distinction. Prize-fghters ought
to be recognized as a distinct class
of the community; they should be
regularly educated and trained fol
their calling, and only such as re
ceived diplomas should be allowed
to practice; they should be heavily
taxed; they should be allowed te
fight only on condition of being as
equally matched as possible; they
should be liable to be disbarreG
from their pursuit for unprofes
sional or irregular conduct and
certain places should be provided
where, and where only, the fights
should be permitted to come of
Such reg lations as these woult
possess two great advantages owe

High school. without regard to the
per capita cost.
We can see where the cost per
capita is justly applicable to the
number of teachers, but not to the
building and grounds and appara-
tus. If we must have separate
schools then We insist upon it that
they must have equal facilities
without regard to the per capita
cost. The whites must pay fOr
what they consider the luxury OF
separation.
The colored pupils have enough
natural disadvantages to contend
with, without adding those artif'
cial and unnecessary ones. The
white pupils have educated parents
who can assist them in their stud
les at home; and who have the
means to afford them the time to
prepare their lessons, and comfor
table homes to pursue their stud
les uninterruptedly. They have
also enjoyed the benefit of educa
ton for centuries, and thus possess
cultured intellects transmitted from
generation to generation.
ALI these nat raj advantages are
denied us, and yet we are handi-
capped in the race by the addition
of the artificial disadvantages re-
ferred to.
We believe the present colored
Trustees are determined to do all
in their power to make the colored
High school equal to the white
and that DR.. Francis-whO is the
colored member of the committee

A HORRIBLE STORY.
A BIRMINGHAM WOMAN RAvIsHED BY
SIX WHITE ME-.

A BIRMINGHAM WOMAN RAvIsHED BY
SIX WHITE ME-.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 9.-(Special.l "A
young cnlored woman named Ella Jones
went to Chiefof police Pickard this-aftrr
noon and told a horrible story Of having
been outraged by six white men. She
said she WAS looking for house to rent
and white man who she met offered to
shoe her house. He took her out in the
suburbs about a mile, where they met
five other men. The others then threw
the woman to the ground and each one
ravished her in turn. Her screams finally
brought assistance aud the men ran of
and escaped. The officers investigated
and found the woman's story true IN ev-
ery particular. the horrible outrage was
perpetrated near some residences anil was
witnessed by several ladies, who were
powerless to help the woman The men
wore the dress of miners, but were un-
known. Officers are now securing the
country In search ofthem. the woman is
badly injured and is in dangerous con-
dition.
The Montgomery Adre' tise.
Again we record another hor-
rible outrage, by white men, on
colored lady, in Birmingham,
Alabama. Whatever may be the
motive of these desperators, we
know not, but one thing we d
know that some white people of the
south must be the most urotfigate
and barberous know to civilization
1t is with regret that we are called
upon from week to week, to de
nounce some hellish outrage
upon some colored male or fe-
male. The better class of south
ern white people should form them
selves into a vigilent committee
to protect these helpless colored
people. The day is not far distant
when the colored man will be able
to protect himself.

1 am very glad you published
| the political symposium. The best
reasons there given for dividing
| the colored vote between the Dem.
| ocratic and Republican parties are
those of Mr.. T. McCants Stewart.
With your permission I will briefly
examine one or two of those rea-
sons. Leaving out Of sight what
Mr.. Stewart says of his belief, for
with that we have no concern
| whatever, nor have We anything to
do with his motives, when he says
he believes that the continued as
tendency of the Democratic party
| in both State and Nation will bene-
| fit the colored race we may open
our eyes in amazemcnt, but we
! must remain dumb. There is no
telling what a man may or may not
believe. We may however, deal
plainly with his reasons, and this
| propose I do with all plainness
of speech; but I trust without
malice.
His first reason is, that no race
should give its support to one par
ty only. Why this is so he does
not condescend to enlighten US,
but suppose he depends upon the
old saying, that it is not wise to
put all our eggs in one basket, or
to send all our ventures to sea in
one ship; but even this wisdom
does not hold good in all circum-
stances. 1t is far better, for in.
stance, that all our ventures should
be in a sound ship than to have
any part of them in a ship that is
unseaworthy. In politics the Re
publican party has proved itself to
be sound and entirely trustworthy,
and the Democratic party has
shown itself to be untrustworthy
and entirely unsound on all ques-
tions affecting the colored race. ]
see no reason whatever for division
merely for the sake of division
some good result must be made
probable to make a division wise
Mr.. Stewart seems conscious of this
fact and says, ''If We cooperate
with the Democratic party We shall
in time find a kindlier feeling pre-
vailing between the blacks and the
whites everywhere" Now it was
sensible in Mr.. Stewart to qualify
this result by the element OF time,
for thus far no co operation of col
!, ored men with the Democratic par
ty has brought about this kindliel
feeling between the blacks AMI
whites. The Negroes of Georgia
soon after the reconstruction, in
their characteristic generosity, vot.
ed their rebel Democratic masters
into the Legislature of that State
and those same Democratic mas
ters proceeded at once to vote
these same kini.hearted Negroes
out of the Legislature, and the
time has not yet come when their
kindlier feeling has restored these
colored men to their seats. Presi
dent Hayes in his abundant char
ity and trust withdrew the army
from the South, adopted a concilia
tory policy, took rebel Democrat
into his Cabinet, and filed the
Southern postoffices with Southern
Democrats. Did this produce {
kindlier feeling towards the blacks
Was the shot gun policy abandon
ed? Was the Republican p rty
permitted to cast it's vote? Not a
all.
